Hello All: New to Cygwin but not to UNIX or NT/2000.
I added /usr/sbin/cron and /usr/sbin/syslogd to the NT services. -------------- cygrunsrv.exe --install "CYGWIN syslogd" --path /usr/sbin/syslogd.exe cygrunsrv.exe --install "CYGWIN cron" --path /usr/sbin/cron.exe -------------- However, launching syslogd failed and I received two Event Viewer Application Log entries: -------------- The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( CYGWIN syslogd ) cannot be found.
